AI Coding Reading List
As AI continues to reshape the way engineering teams build software, leaders are facing new challenges – and new opportunities – almost every week. In this edition of the Digest, Adam Ferrari dives deep into AI measurement, looking at what both native tools and SEI platforms have to offer. Plus, a deeper look at the Jellyfish MCP, what to expect from Google’s latest Gemini model updates and more.
So whether you’re trying to quantify the benefits of AI coding assistants, integrate smarter automation into your workflows, or just stay ahead of the curve, we’ve got the insights that matter most right now.
Here’s what we’re reading this week:
Quantifying AI Coding Impact: A deep dive into vendor native data
By Adam Ferrari
For Jellyfish advisor and serial CTO Adam Ferrari, more and more Engineering leaders he speaks with have quickly graduated from how to get started with AI coding tools to the tougher problem of measuring their impact.
And recent stats about AI impact at Microsoft from Satya Nadella, like 30% of code in newer areas being created by AI – have only increased the urgency.
Given how quickly both the tools and approaches around AI coding are evolving, it’s no surprise that methods of measuring its impact are far from baked. But we’re starting to see signs of progress.
In his new post, Adam looks at the types of analytics AI coding tools are providing natively, as well as how Engineering metrics platforms like Jellyfish are starting to engage this problem, and where AI impact measurement is (and should be) headed.

Jellyfish MCP: Work seamlessly across Jellyfish, Jira, and Confluence
By Jellyfish
What happens when your AI tools gain access to real engineering context – metrics, trends, and signals that actually matter?
Find out with Jellyfish MCP (Model Context Protocol). Now you can unlock smarter workflows, sharper decision-making, and AI that understands the why behind the work – not just the what.
It’s a whole new layer of intelligence for engineering leadership.
